   I was thinking more of the case where a non-sparse filter of several 
thousand bit maps is tested to contain a filter of 20 indices. The primary use 
case for this is better served using contains(Hasher). If comparing filters is 
mostly done with two of the same sparseness type, and isSparse is a property 
then it doesn't matter.
   
   isSparse seems appropriate. The concept of sparse arrays describes a similar 
structure where the storage is  proportional to the number of entries and not 
the maximum supported index.
